Major Project: Joint tutorial with Simon and Andrea - Helpful feedback


The joint feedback with Andrea and Simon was a really eye-opening experience because there are many things we agreed on and many things we disagreed on.

Simon voiced his concerns on my end scene being too long and at first I didn't really see why it would be too long, but it was only into the edit when I realised that it could be cut down. I still didn't cut it down as much as they wanted but I was able to make a compromise and meet in the middle.

Another feedback I received from Andrea was that I made the right decision to re shoot and add the thoughts of external/internal feelings of Isaiah. This made me feel really hopeful for the film as I was able to realise that I was still on track and even closer to my goal of creating a film that shows my characters hidden feelings. 

Another feedback was that I can still work on the sound and ensure the sound effects brings the film to life even more. I agree with this as I was only supposed and on the picture but I need to remember that sound is just as important as the visuals. That was the area my film is lacking in so the next steps from me is to continue to enhance the Soundesign and find ways of turning it down.

Documentary: Nike Sweatshops: Behind The Swoosh

Nike Sweatshop: Behind the swoosh This is a documentary that was posted on youtube by a group called "teamsweat" in 2011. It is investigatory and expository as it aims to shed light on a popular brand who uses unethical ways of making their garments. With the use of archive footage and some actuality of sweat shops Shots starts of with a montage of developed places in america, the busy streets, the night life and carries a voice over with it. There is a character introducing himself and talking about what he does in his life (relating to footwear) - the beginning is similar to bowling for Colombine in the snse that there is a montage and a voice over except this one is not as hard hitting and direct in its approach. They have chosen to produce the problem at a later stage in the documentary whereas in Bowling for columbine, Moore was very direct in his approach.  This gets me thinking about how we could approach or documentary. Will we start with a mont...

Major Project: Commissioning an Artist for Props

Commissioning an Artist for props So, I have had the luxury of being able to commission my own mum to make the art props needed through out the film. The art props needed were;   x 2 Art sketches on mini canvas boards (For art class scene)  x 1 sketchbook semi filled with various designs (Main prop which is shown throughout) x 1 final art canvas piece - (This consisted of 3 separate canvases to make 1 final piece) semi finished final piece (to show within montage showing the progress of the final piece) 1 small canvas piece (Isaiah brings home an art piece to place on the counter, parents ignore)  So, even though I already know this person and can contact them in an informal way, I still took it very seriously when communicating my ideas. After all, where you know the person or not, you still gave to be able to know exactly what you want and now how to communicate this with them. The communication between ...
